Hello everyone.
I opened registration to visitors in one of my wordpress websites and registration is not working properly.
I just tried “Lost Password?” function and it gave me this error:
“The e-mail could not be sent. Possible reason: your host may have disabled the mail() function.”
My server is Ubuntu 12.04; LEMP - running on nginx.
Is there a way to fix this problem without messing up?
I appreciate your help. Thanks,

and then configure sendmail(just choose the defaults)
sudo sendmailconfig
reboot
